- Subtle French oak handling - both during fermentation and initial aging - serves to complement the stylishly tangy fruit in this wine. The palate is clean, fresh and with crisp acidity. A good balance of lemony' Semillon fruit flavour, harmonised with dimension of intrigrated oak on the middle palate. Mitchell Semillon is easily approachable when young and with 2-5 years of cellaring develops the butter and straw characters which are typical of high quality aged Semillon. The color is lively pale green yellow. There are subtle lemon citrus and honey flavors on the nose. The combination read more...of wild yeast and barrel fermentation gives the palate an amazing texture, with a rich fullness, balanced with nutty creaminess followed by a long, soft, fry finish. Ready for drinking now, but could easily be cellared for around 5 years. (hide)
